Why can't he just shoot at road signs like most normal people?

Given an infinite number of chemistry classes with an infinite number of science teachers holding an infinite number of matches to an infinite number of balloons filled with the universe's finite supply of hydrogen, I'd say we'd have 10 years left before the stuff's all gone and the universe is a giant swimming pool

I bet those bastards have known all along exactly how many typewriters they need to write Hamlet.

This will lead to thousands of drug enforcement pilot jobs getting offshored to afghanistan where militants can remotely fly drug search drones around England for 100th of the price of a guy in a Cessna.

Theo De Raadt makes comments about Linux being for losers. Linus Torvalds makes comments about OpenBSD users being masturbating monkeys. You usually have to take some of their comments with a grain of salt.

To the prisoners making pencils out of toilet paper and writing their own underground novels, which are then sold for packs of cigarettes.

That there are 3,500 customized versions of Android developed by handset makers and carriers is really a news story unto itself.

Quit being alarmist--the exploit only works once every 28 days.

From a dick move.

Wives and girlfriends been making use of this technology for millennia.

Mod parent up.

Young programmers can eat large amounts of hip, carelessly designed defacto syntactic sugar and not get diabetes.

It would take 5-10 minutes of fill up the beast's tank with gas. I don't think an electric car can fully charge up in that amount of time. Any I've heard there are areas of the world that don't currently have available electric service. But again, I'd love to be wrong about both those things.

Did you have a specific girl in mind at the office when you wrote that song?

To back up the parent post, let's say in a single day a sudden coup brings down the government of a development country the president is currently visiting. In i's place is an extremist government that's extremely hostile to the US made up of a lot of recently former terrorists who would love nothing more than hold the US president hostage (or worse). The president is nowhere near Air Force One, and The Beast has to drive 800 miles across hostile territory to reach a SEAL extraction team in a friendly country. The route has to go through very rural areas where Secret Service agents have to do things like hold up gas stations, spending only five minutes pumping before moving on. And where gas stations are sparse, forget even about electric fast-charging stations, the agents have to sneak up to parked cars and steal gas quickly with specialized pump-driven siphons, relying on the fact that gasoline can easily transferred from one car to another quickly. Far faster than any kind of scheme with jumper cables. In this nightmare scenario, you want something ridiculously ubiquitous and instantly replenishable.

An electric Beast would be an absolutely terrible idea. Stateside an electric Beast would actually be a neat PR bit to show the Oval Office cares about green technology. But the fact that electric car advocate geeks will take issue with the above scenario and will make endless excuses for their technology and will dismiss very legitimate practical concerns with electric says a lot about how detached from reality the electric car movement really is right now. Screaming "FUD" really doesn't make anything better.
